Farallons Islands (NA-178) around 21.15 UTC on 14 February and went QRT at 20
UTC on the 16th, after logging 2,552 QSOs (including dupes). Pictures,

NOT THE MANAGER ---> Giancarlo, IK4QIB reports he is receiving cards for
V44KJ, but he is not and has never been the QSL manager for this call. The
correct QSL route is via WB2TSL.
QSL VIA OK1RK ---> David, OK1RK reports he has the last bundle of blank cards
for the QSOs he made as 5N0/OK1AUT, 5N0ZKD, 5N99ZKD and 5N0W during his stay
in Nigeria. David is not a member of the OK QSL bureu, so those who still
need a card should send their request direct only to David Klimosz, Paprskova
1339/10a, 14000 Praha 4, Czech Republic. Please note that David can confirm
contacts made with 5N0W between 1999 and May 2000 only (contacts made after
May 2000 "belong" to OK1DXE). [TNX IK3QAR]
